Users of Bitnet (and NetNorth in Canada and EARN in Europe) often
have addresses in this form: <IZZY@INDVMS>. If you're lucky, all you'll
have to do to mail to that address is add "bitnet" at the end, to get
<izzy@indvms.bitnet>. Sometimes, however, mail to such an address will
bounce back to you, because Bitnet addresses do not always translate
well into an Internet form. If this happens, you can send mail
through one of two Internet/Bitnet gateways. First, change the `@' in
the address to a `%', so that you get <user%site.bitnet>. Then add
either `@vm.marist.edu' or `@cunyvm.cuny.edu', so that, with the above
example, you would get <izzy%indyvms.bitnet@vm.marist.edu> or
<izzy%indvyvms.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu>

Bitnet users have it a little easier: They can usually send mail
directly to your e-mail address without fooling around with it at all.
So send them your address and they should be OK.
